Rae: the search term "drop waist" is great! Seamstress is great idea. And as for liking Piazza Sempione, I wouldn't have it I hadn't tried it on at Filene's...beautiful stuff. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-one-in-a-million-im-an-apple#post-516377 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:29:28 +0000 Amy 516377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A bit of genius went into that dress design...</p> <p>I haven't seen many like it with such dramatic seam lines, pleating and draping.</p> <p>You could try on dresses with hitched or draped skirts and wear wide belts to mimic the effect.</p> <p>Stephanie, have you had someone custom-sew a dress for you? Would they really charge less than that? Just curious </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-one-in-a-million-im-an-apple#post-516369 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:18:56 +0000 Mochi 516369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Piazza Sempione--you have excellent taste, lefish! (yeah, real helpful, I know)</p> <p>I'm sending you lucky vibes for getting the perfect dress, fellow apple. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-one-in-a-million-im-an-apple#post-516362 Sat, 21 Jan 2012 00:09:18 +0000 rae 516362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seems like a lot of "drop waist" styles could give the effect you're talking about:<br /> <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=drop+waist#/browse/dresses?fts=drop+waist&#038;fl=p7&#038;fl=p8&#038;fl=p9&#038;fl=p10&#038;fl=p11" rel="nofollow">http://www.shopstyle.com/brows.....038;fl=p11</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-one-in-a-million-im-an-apple#post-516255 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:51:34 +0000 Stephanie 516255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have a tailor you trust? It doesn't look overly complicated, and you could have a similar silhouette made in a more summery fabric for less than the yoox price, for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-one-in-a-million-im-an-apple#post-516247 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 21:42:06 +0000 Isabel 516247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't....but I am bumping for others. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-dress-one-in-a-million-im-an-apple#post-516174 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:52:00 +0000 lefish 516174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried this dress on at a Filene's in a way too small size. But it seems like if it were larger it would have been very flattering for my apple shape -- tighter around the hips, skims the waist. Here's a link to it:</p> <p><a href="http://www.yoox.com/item/YOOX/PIAZZA+SEMPIONE/dept/women/tskay/3FD17CD7/rr/1/cod10/34226659MU/sts/sr_women80" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoox.com/item/YOOX/.....sr_women80</a></p> <p>The thing is (a) it's still pretty expensive, even on sale (b) I may need a 10, not an 8 (c) it's a little wintry and I need it for a summer wedding. </p> <p>Are there ANY other dresses like this anywhere? I just love the shape but have not seen anything else that even comes close to this. Every dress either seems to hit at the waist, under the bust, or skim the body, but I haven't seen anything else like this with a wide band at the hips.</p> <p>Let me know if you've seen anything? </p>
